Good and fiae malting barley sold steadily, at ex treme rates, but for other articles the trade ruled quiet, on 87 SS I 1 former terms. 130 131 On the Continent produce generally remains stationary in value. From New York we learn that the export trade in breadstuffs to Europe continues to fall off. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 20,710 qrs wheat, 3,612 barley, 9,154 oats, 2,152 beans, 2,430 peas, 275 tares, 6,964 linseed, 4,090 rape and oilseeds, 3,041 maize, 220 sundry seeds, and 50 sacks flour. The arrivals of home-grown wheat, fresh up to our market to-clay, coastwise and by land carriage, were vary moderate, but the condition of the produce, although somewhat inferior, exhibited a slight improvement as corn• pared with Monday las% Although the stands were scantily supplied with samples, there was no improvement in the demand either for red or white qualities. Dry samples, however, changed hands at the prices of Monday last, and damp produce, although difficult of sale, found buyers at about previous quotations. About an average supply of foreign wheat was exhibited for sale. Millers operated to a limited extent In all descrip tions, and showed no disposition to purchase beyond imme diate wants. The business transacted, however, was at previous rates, and our quotations, consequently, are un. altered from Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at late rates. The market was well supplied with most descriptions of barley. The chief activity was in malting produce at about 32s per quarter, such qualities having commanded a some what ready sale. Fine barley was scarce, and was firm in price.

The supply of forL;gn beasts and calves here to-day was limited, of sheep tolerably good. The general condition of the stock, however, was inferior. Fresh up this morning from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland. the arrivals of beasts were moderate, and of improved quality. All good and prime breeds com manded a steady sale ; nevertheless the extreme rates of last week were not supported. Inferior beasts moved off slowly, at previous currencies. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s 4d to 56 61 per Ms. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire. and Northampton. shire, we received 1,900 shorthorns, Zce., from other parts of England 500 various breeds, from Scotland 295 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland 300 oxen and heifers. With sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily supplied. The quality of most breeds was very middling. The best Duwns and half-breds sold readily, at very full prices ; but inferior breeds were dull, at barely late rates. The top figure was 5s 10d per Blbs. Calves—the supply cf which was limited—commanded a steady sale at full quotations—viz , , from 4s 4d to 5s 4d per B!bs. Prime small pigs were the turn dearer, with a good de mand, but largo hogs were very dull. The great Christmas market will bo held here . ..on Mon day next.

JAMES'S 'WORKHOUSE —Margaret Parkin, a tall elderly woman, an inmate of St. James's Workhouse, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stealing .omo table knives, the property of the guardians of St James's parish, The prisoner was allowed to go out of the workhouse yesterday morning to attend her chapel, when she took the opportunity of taking the knives away with her, and offered them for sale at the shop of Mr Levy, Dudley-street, but it being seen there that they bore the words " St. James's Workhouse" upon them they were stopped, and prisoner made off and escaped, leaving the knives behind her. In the afternoon the assistant to Mr Levy went to the work house and identified the prisoner, who had returned to the workhouse at dinner time, as the person who had offered the knives for sale, and she was given into custody. The prisoner said she was never in Mr Levy's shop in her life—never saw the assistant—and never that way. She, however, wished to be tried by the magistrate. Mr Levy's assistant said he was positive the prisoner was the women. Mr Tyrwhitt said ho had no doubt sho had stolen the knives, and committed hor for 21 days. WESTMINSTER. CAUGHT AT LAST.—Henry Clarke, a journeyman painter, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a watch and chain, value £5. Mrs Sarah Howard stated that she was staying in November last in the house of a Mr Turnbuck, 9, Melton street, Grosvenor-place, which was under repait. On the 10th of that month, between 7 and 8 in the morning, she eft her watch and locket in a drawer in her bedroom, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon found it had been stolen. She immediately came to the conclusion that one of the work men must have carried it off, and she accordingly commu nicated her suspicions to the foreman of the event. The prisoner absconded, and was lost sight of for a fortnight, when he was given into custody, but as the property could not be found, and there was not sufficient evidence to jus- tify the detention of the prisouer,he was set at large. but in consequence of some fresh information obtained, she gave the prisoner into custody on Saturday again upon the charge. Frederick Jackey, assistant to a pawnbroker, 160, Black friars-road, said that the wa'ch he now produced was pawned on the day it was stolen. It was looked at, and a fresh ticket taken upon it on the Ist inst. It was originally pawned in the prisoner's name. • A police-constable said he went to Hampton-row, Wal' worth, on Saturday night and took the prisoner into cus tody. He at first deniod stealing the things, but hearing the watch was found he sai3 okbis way to the station, " I am very sorry I did take the watch and chain, and I have sold the chain to a Mr Jones in Gravel-lane, with the locket which was on it.'' Mrs Howard identified the watch which was purchased by the pawnbroker's assistant. Prisoner was remanded, and prompt proceedings ordered to endeavour to recover the gold chain and locket. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 5, 1864. TALLOW. The tallow trade is dull to-day, and prices having given way, P.Y.C. is quoted at 40s 9i per cwt. on the spot.

A LADY DRUNKARD.—In consequence of the court being under repair, the magistrates have been transacting business in the usher's room in front of the building. This morn• ing, after the hearing of several night charges, a lady, who appeared in a state of great agitation, was ushered into the temporary court by a tall gentleman. There was something so distingue in their appearance, that everybody made way for them, and the lady, who was well dressed and carried a muff in front of her, was escorted to a chair alongside our reporter, who was seated in front of a small table. The lady lady seemed to feel acutely the disgraceful position she was in, and would have fainted if she had not been supported by Sergeant Sutherland, 46 li. The gentleman who acted as cicerone raised her veil at the same time. This had scarcely been done when a police-constable whispered to her, and she stood up and staggered towards a desk and sobbed loudly. At the same time her servant girl, who came into the court with her 'Distress, stood behind the desk whete prisoners have been placed since the temporary court has been in operation. Mr Paget—The lady appears ill and agitated—lot her be seated. The lady dropped into a seat, and Coley, 417 K, said the was a prisoner. Mr Paget—A prisoner, is she? Then she must stand ia he usual place. The lady, who rallied wonderfully, stood up in the place pointed out, and said her name was Rebecca Walker, of No. 37, Old Ford, Bow, Coley stated that on Saturday night at half-past nine o'clock he saw the prisoner very drunk in the Mile-end road. There were a great many people about her, laughing and jeering. She W as Very noisy and staggering. She had a bruwn paper parcel in her hand, and he was fearful it would be lost or stolen. He took her to the station-house. She was locked up four hours and then bailed. Mr Paget—What have you to say, Mrs Walker? You are charged with being drunk in the public road. Mrs Walker, who is rather a handsome woman, about 35 years of age, simpered out--I can't account for it, sir. Mr Paget—How very disgraceful. lam surprised that a person of your appearance, and holding, as I suppose you do, a respectable position in society, should be di unk in the public streets. The prisoner's friend here volunteered an apology for her, and said she was ill on Saturday. Mr Paget--Who are you, sir. The gentleman—l am a jeweller, 'her neighbour. I bailed her out. Her husband is a commercial traveller, now travelling. He has been away three months. Mr Paget—And his wifo getting drunk. How shocking this is I The gentleman —She has been ill some time. i\i drunk. The Paget—Th° prisoner is fined five shillings for being du The gentleman took out his purse and paid the fine. rl The enthusiastic reception given to Col. M'Murdo by the various Volunteer corps in the course of tho last two weeks proves how high a sense the officers and men of that remarkable organisation entertain of the services and character of the man under whose hands and eye they have attained their present efficiency. The expression of such sentiments must be most gratifying to the Inspector- General, and is perhaps the reward he will most appreciate. —Army F yacl FORGERIES IN I ‘4 :A B MERICA.—A story of forge• ries is being brought to light in our police-court. One case, involving 25,000 dole, has been gone into, and a gang of 10 have already been secured. But this sum is sup posed to be a more fraction of the amount that will yet be shown to have been raised by the forgers on different banks. Some of th ose who profess to be informed on the subject estimate the gross forgeries which this first o ise will bring to light at from 300,000 to 500,000 dole. And if the facilities for getting cheeks cashed at our banks are as great in every case as they appear to have been in that tried yesterday, we can readily believe the future disclo sures may turn out to b i e or fea r r o i t u b l i . ng T t h h e e c c it o y mm is u e n v it i y de o n n tly a overrun with organised bands of plunderers, who arrange gni , ude.—Ncte York 2inies. perfect a an e d caie o fu ntiahreeicregelanntesd ma GRIEF AND INSANITT. — A tragical event has taken place at Pesth. The wife of a swimming master in that town having lately lost 53V611 of her children leaving her only her youngest, a few months old, and that one showing symptoms of the disease which had carried off the othere, lost her reason. The poor woman in her frenzy broke every article of furniture, and when the neighbours. alarmed at the noise, broke open the door, they found her with the child dead in her arms. On her hasband,return ing home, and finding what had taken place, he also became a lunatic. The woman has been sent to an asylum. The Wreck of the Dalhousie, On Friday, the first day the weather permitted, Mr Crichton, agent for Lloyds, and Mr Robertson, one of the owners, sailed from Dundee in the steao. tug Sampson to the scene of the wreck of the Dal housie, which was lost at the mouth of the Frith of Tay, on the voyage from Newcastle to Dundee, on the 24th ult. She was found to be swamped in deep water, leading to the impression that she had not been filled from below, but from above. It is thought she must have foundered in the tremendous seas, and not run on the bank, as first supposed. She was about a mile and a quarter from the Fife shore, and in sufficiently deep water to have floated. The depth of water in which the vessel was found was about 20 feet tore and aft and 17 in the middle, the soundings being taken at ebb tide; but the shallower water mound the ship showed that she was burrowing in the sand to the depth of four or five feet. The top of the companion was barely covered, and the door was standing open. A hook was applied to the stair, but no bodies wore found near it. No mote bodies have been floated ashore since Tuesday last, and those hitherto got are the bodies of the crew, or persons likely to render aid in a storm. The corpses of the passengers are believed to be still in the cabin or berths, and it is intended to send down a diver to bring them up. The hull of the ship appeared to be intact, and it is thought that the cargo can yet be recovered and the vessel raised. The exact number of lives lost is not cer tain. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, professional vocalists, are believed to have had three children with them, instead of two, as at first reported. Their luggage, which had floated off the deck, has been recovered, and in one of the boxes was found a nursing bottle, leading to the belief that Mrs Cleveland had a baby in addition to the two children entered on the books. John Egleton, supposed to have been lost with two of his children, happily missed the train at Sunder land, and took the . Leith vessel instead, as did also two seamen going to Dundee. A passenger named Pornmey has been identified. He was, it appears, going to Dundee in search of work. - He has left a wife and seven of his nine children in Ireland,, About £1,700 or £l,BOO have been raised in Dundee for the widows and orphans deprived of support by the calamity.

JOHN LEECH'S ARTISTIC HABITS.—Mr Leech's life and character are in his own " Sketches of Life and Character." Any anecdote that can be told of him has its double in his own works. Suppose we give this anec dote in the words of Mr Charles Dickens. He was very fond of a bey known to Mr Dickens, an extraordinary small boy, but of great spirit, who was a midshipman in the navy. " Whenever this boy came home from a cruise," says Mr Dickens, " he and Leech, and never any body else, used to go out in great state, and dine at the Garrick Club and go to the play, and finish in an exem plary way with kidneys and harmony. On the first of these occasions, the officer came out so frightfully small that, Leech told us afterwards, he was filled with horror when he saw him eating his dinner at the Garrick with a large knife. On the other hand, ho felt that to suggest a small knife to an officer and gentleman would be an unpardonable affront. So, after meditating for some time, he felt that his course was to object to the club knives as enormous and gigan tic; to remonstrate with their servant on their huge pro portions, and with a grim dissatisfaction to demand small ones. After which he and the officer messed with great satisfaction, and agreed that things in general were running too large in England." But incidents like these are pre cisely what we find pictured in his pages ; and his friends, pointing to sketch after sketch, can say, " I told him that:;" ".This happened to himself;" " I was present when he came upon so and so." We select two sketches, for which we are indebted to Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, to illustrate this, not because they are greatly supe rior to others, but because they show his manner of working, "the first is called " Private Theatricals," and appeared in the Almanac for 1854, with these words under it :—" Dismay of Mr James Jessamy on being told that he will spoil the Whole Thirg if he doesn't shave off his Whiskers." The incident happened to himself; it is his own whiskers that were in question ; and it is himself that he is here making fun of. So again but a few weeks ago, there appeared in Punch the sketch of " A Little Scene at Brussels," with these words underneath, " T-mp k-ns (who has just come down breakfast) : Here I I say, Garsong I I want a kelk chose for dejewnay l der Korfee, and des Moots, you know ! (N.B. 'The stout party, T. pokes in the ribs is a wealthy Belgian swell)." Hero tlio incident is founded on actual occurrence. During this last summer he went to the continent tor the benefit of hiehealth, in company with Mr Elmore; and it was he himself mho made the mistake of addressing a Belgian gentleman as the waiter. But whereas ho himself was tall, he pictures the hero of the escapade as short ; whereas he was a gentleman in all his ways, he represents the said hero with the manners of a " gent" terrible in his French. The type of an urn' menso number of these sketches is to be found in his letters, and one must conceive of them as a form of published letter. Ile writes to a young but moat distinguished artist with whom he had formed a close friendship—" When do you re turn ? Mind, you present yourself here directly you come back. You are of course something like this by this date," and then on opposite pages of his letter he draws with pen and ink two prodigious portraits of his friend, that illustrate the felicity with which he could give a likeness from memory, and preserve the likeness too, while confounding it with extravagances that have no existence in fact. So when he writes to another friend to appoint a day for hunting, he must wind up with a sketch of what is likely to take place on the morning of the hunt, He was troubled with a want of sleep, and indicates on the sketch how difficult it will be to wake him up. Now, what we have here in the rough, in his letters, we have highly finished in his public works. Representing scenes of private life, they have the same re lation to art that a man's letters have to literature. They are his mode of correspondence, and they have the biogra phical character of a correspondence.—Corn/sill Magazine. The Mayor of Arbas (Haute•Garonne) committed suicide two days ago by blowing out his brains with a gun during a moment of temporary insanity. IRON SBIPBUILDINO AT CARDIFF.—Ott the 16th of last month the first iron steamer constructed in Cardiff was launched from the premises of Mr N. Scott Russell. She is called the Mallorca, and is built far a Spanish Royal Mail Company, to run between Barcelona and the island of Majorca. Her dimensions are—length, 230 ft ; breadth, 26ft : depth, 15ft ; and she is propelled by paddle engines of 190 nominal horse power, which are guaranteed to drive her at 12 knots per hour. She is constructed upon Mr Soott Rus sell's longitudinal principle of iron, made by the Dowlais Company, ani is an elegant model. The launch excited considerable interest, as being the first that has taken place from that port, and is expected to be the forerunner of many. Messrs Batchelor and Messrs Hill are also building iron ships, and it is to be hoped that, owing to its proximity to one of the great iron and coal fields, Cardiff may one day become a formidable rival of Newcastle and the Clyde, THIRD EDITION.

SIR,—As the Ministerial prints seem to think that the present Parliament is not at all unlikely to exist until the spring or summer of 186 G, viz., a year and half from the present time. allow me to observe thiough the medium of your valuable paper, that should such an event actually take place, it will be the first time such a thing has hap pened for more than 100 years. During the reigns of George 3rd and 4th Parliament sat generally 6 years, but never longer, and there has ben one Parliament, and one only, during the present reign that has sat 6 years, and this was the Parliament of the late Sir R. Peel, which was elected during the summer of 1841 and dissolved in the summer of 1847, and therefore existed just 6 years. With this one exception the present is the longest Parliament we have had sinca the first Parliament of the reign of George IV., which was elected on the accession of the last-named monarch in the spring of 1820, and not die solved until the summer of 1826, just over 6 years. The last Parliament which sat for anything like seven years was the first farliainent of George 111., which was elected in May 1761, seven weeks after that King's accession, and die, solved 61 years afterwards, as the next Parliament was as sembled May, 1768, exactly seven years afterwards, and considering the length of elections before the Reform Bill, a Parliament must have taken little less than half a year in being got together. Sir R. Peel said at Tamworth the other day that in all probability the present Parliament would continue to exist until tho spring of 1866. If so ? What shall we behold ? A Whig Government which came in 34 years ago, with the watchwords, Peace, Retrenchment, Economy, Reform, and Short Parliaments. Andl,oilnwstheaadt do we behold, England in time of p eace w i t h a war expen diture; Reform laid compl e t e ly on t h e shell, and, of hhort Parliaments, a Parliament which even the Govern ment of Geo. 111. the very G ivernment which was so vio lently opposed by Junius and Wilke, would have been ashamed remain, sir, your obedient servant, A LOVER OF HISTORICAL DATES AND FACTS. DEATH 01 , A " LOUD OF THE IronEsr."—Gows barrow Park has lost its king, and the adjoining fells the stag the.t for about half a sore of years has proudly held sway over the herds that take up their quarters on thy heights about Martindale. He was a noble yellow—one of the largest animals ever seen in this part of the country, and a dangerous enemy to any of its kind with temerity enough to el . spute his superiority. But what singlehanded none durst attempt, overwhelming numbers have accom plished. Like that of many other despots his reign bee ime obnoxious to his subjects. A short time ago they rebelled, and attacked him in force; he fought a noble fight, but his enemies were numerous, and eventually he fell pierced by many wounds. His weight was immense, and his head and antlers consideiably larger than anyanimal of the kind ever seen in this part of the country.—Penrith Paper. An assembly is about to be held at itonen under the title of "Coupes pour 1 1 4`ude des fruits a cidre." The object of this meeting is the study of all questions concerti ing the culture of apples and pears.
